but after restarting the system, following things occured:-
-Message box appears saying "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode"
Your screen, graphics card and input device setting could not be detected... OK

-Then i get prompt saying what would you like to do ?
-Run ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session.
i get a message starting display in one minute.....nothing happens ... i switch to text mode by pressing
escape. There is a brown color star before: Speech dispacher configured for user sessions.
on battery state there is a infinte loop i.e. no response and system just hangs there...
-startx at text mode makes the screen blank...

Please tell which part of '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' sholud be scanned to find required information.
